The Buried Treasures of Childhood: A Guide to Intuitive Parenting

The Buried Treasures of Childhood is an accessible and delightful journey into the internal world of babies and young children. This book guides parents to tune into their intuitive understanding in a more purposeful and mindful way. By cultivating their parental intuition parents will come to know their child in a deeper way, while simultaneously developing the companionship and bonding that will last a lifetime. Starting with the basic emotional building blocks, Dr. Diane Laughrun illustrates the nature of non-verbal communication with delightful examples from everyday life, from children’s play and from children’s dreams. Common roadblocks to intuitive parenting, like the Parental Fog or Parental Blind Spots, will enlighten parents about the hard work of intuitive parenting and free them from these common difficulties. At the end of each chapter of the book, parents are guided to use their parenting journal to enhance their understanding of their self and of what their unique child needs from them at any given moment. By facing emotional challenges, Dr. Laughrun helps parents give their children not only self-confidence but also the experience of being respected and loved for the unique person that they are.
